68 CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE NATIONAL HERBARIUM. 
Minor. Nuphar advena var.? minor Morong, Bot. Gaz. 11: 167. July, 1886. 
A name originally applied to depauperate specimens of Nymphaea 
americana from Smith’s Pond near Litchfield, Herkimer County, 
New York, but afterward transferred by Watson and Coulter to 
N. rubrodisca (Gray’s Manual, ed. 6. 56. 1889). 
Orbiculata. Nymphaea orbiculata Small, Bull. Torrey Club 33: 128. April 30, 1896. 
The only name for a strikingly characterized, large-leaved species 
known from southern Georgia only. Type locality, a small lake 
near Thomasville, Thomas County. 
Ovata. See page 97. 
Ozarkana. See page 91. 
Pictum. Nuphar polysepalum pictum Engelm. Trans. Acad. St. Louis 2: 285. 1868. 
A synonym of polysepalum. 
Polysepalum. Nuphar polysepalum Engelm. Trans. Acad. St. Louis 2: 282. 1868. 
The first name based on the large-fruited western member of the 
genus. After mentioning specimens from various localities Engel- 
mann says: ‘‘* * * And finally, Dr. Parry gathered ample ma- 
terial and full notes, which have been largely used in the following 
description, in Osborn’s Lake in the same region [near Longs Peak, 
Colorado] at an altitude of 8,800 feet, where it grows with Menyanthes 
trifoium * * *.” As the description is almost wholly based on 
the Parry material, Osborn’s Lake must be accepted as the type 
locality of polysepalum. On page 285, however, the plant from the 
same lake receives a second name: ‘The flowers of Dr. Parry’s plant 
are more highly colored than that of Dr. Hayden’s [from a small lake 
between Henry’s Fork and Snake Fork of the Columbia River] and 
may preserve the name of var. pictum, which the discoverer has 
applied to the species.” The name pictum is thus an exact synonym 
of polysepalum. 
Puberula. See page 99. 
Rubrodiscum. Nuphar rubrodiscum Morong, Bot. Gaz. 11: 167. 1886. 
The first specific name given to the plant originally described aa a 
subspecies under the name hybrida. The author apparently regarded 
the plant, which he found on the Vermont shore of Lake Champlain, 
as a species in process of formation from a hybrid. ‘Intermediate 
between N. advena [=americana] and the following [microphylla], and 
produced from a hybrid between them. Still a hybrid in many 
localities.” , 
Sagittaefolia. Nuphar sagittacfolia Pursh, Fl. Amer. Sept. 2: 370. 1814. 
Substitute for sagittifolia Walt. 1788. 
Sagittata. Nymphaea sagittata Pers. Syn. Pl. 2: 63. 1807. 
This is merely another name for Nymphaea sagittifolia. 
Sagittifolia. Nymphaea sagittifolia Walt. Fl. Carol. 155. 1788. 
The first name based on the plant to which it is currently applied. 
No type locality is mentioned, but the preface to the Flora is sub- 
scribed: ‘‘Carolinae Meridionalis, ad Ripis Fluvii Santee.”’
